Sad State Of Affairs

If you care, here is the link it went to in the e-mail we got ... but they are begging for subscribers - after going on and on about the wait list just a few years back. Maybe if they didn't RAISE prices in a down economy, they wouldn't have to pull an Islanders and give out free autographed jerseys. WEAK.

I have contacted the Rangers about a partial season ticket plan. They don't really have many seats to offer. I was told club level seats and the 200's. Neither one would I pay the price they were asking

MotherPucker - we were in recent years, but raised prices and the tumultuous times on Wall Street has led to a good number of corporate seats being given up - in addition to us normal folk ... and thus they are pushing ticket sales constantly now in the arena, on their website, in their e-blasts.

Sam - good pickup. They want loyalty from us, but they don't need to show any themselves.

Anon - get back to me when the Rangers have less than 16,000. I went to Devils/Dallas - an early season game last year - and there was less than 10,000 people at the Rock.

Brother - I wish I could say I'm surprised ... if you hit up hfboards and stubhub, there are plenty of tix available up top for purchase.

Haha another Ranger fan resorting to the old attendance arguement to make himself feel better because his team has nothing to show on the ice since 94. Pathetic. When your team wins the cup without importing the 80's Oilers and within the next 20 years get back to me.

Slap Shot Quote Of The Week R.I.P. Reg

How do you feel about the DZ deal?

So who am I?

I am Ranger fan and season ticket holder who is more than a little obsessed with hockey. The first thing I can remember is watching a Ranger game with my dad, listening to him yell "Shoot the puck Barry!" I loathe the Islanders, hate everyone else in the Atlantic and despise Mmmaarrrttttyyyy and Cindy. While I am a objective journalist in real life (seriously), this is NOT a media site and is kept quite far from my profession; it is simply an outlet for me to let loose my opinions of the Blueshirts - very distinctly Dr. Jekyll & Mr. Hyde. My Ranger rantings and ravings have appeared on (or been linked to) such notable sites as the New York Times, Puck Daddy, Deadspin and NBC's Pro Hockey Talk - and I can't thank them enough. Comments and criticism are always welcome within the boundaries of good taste; feel free to e-mail me at TrueBlueFan329@gmail.com.And you should follow me on Twitter: @ScottyHockey.

All photos on this site were culled from around the web unless specified as being taken by me - that means I point out that I took the shot, put a sig on it or it's up on my Flickr page. The majority of game pics come from Yahoo! Sports, who in turn picks up Getty and AP more often than not.
